1. Sometimes decisions could be extremely challenging – to downsize or not to downsize, for example. I was advised long back to draw the line down the center of a piece of paper, after that on one side placed the ands also and on the various other, the minuses. It won’t decide for you, yet it will help you to work out exactly how you really feel.

2. Iron out your top priorities, the important things that make you particularly delighted, and dispose the remainder. I’m still aiming to do that, but not yet succeeding.

3. Never drink alcohol by yourself. Easy for me to say, it gives me a headache.

4. Enjoy your computer system. Purchase one, if you don’t currently have one. Get someone under 16 to show you to use it, if you’re worried. It could open up the globe to you.

5. If there’s someplace you have actually always desired to go, or something you’ve always intended to see or do, do not give up hope. The Rantzen rule is that if you want something hard enough, you will get it, but as long after you have actually provided up hope you can’t bear in mind why you wanted it.

6. Never ever state never. Life will constantly stun you. Be ready to take benefit of the opportunities that come your method, also if they make you nervous. That’s why I participated in Strictly Come Dancing. Craig claimed my tango was a catastrophe, beloved. So true.

7. When individuals disrespect you, laugh and also continue. Especially if the disrespects relate to your age. It simply demonstrates how little they recognize. Age, of course, is a gold mine of memory and experience.

8. Never take any kind of recommendations from a clapped-out tv speaker. (That’s what Jeremy Paxman called me on Newsnight when I made a decision to run as an independent candidate in Luton South.)
